My whole family was wowed by this sorbet. And I love the fact that it is somewhat healthier than ice cream too. So sweet, refreshing and delicious -- thanks, Alton!!! :

this was just wonderful! I used lime curd and lime flavored sparkling water....just excellent! great taste and consistency. also, put just a teeny drop of green food coloring in.....so refreshing! when you pull up this recipe it says categories: dairy, fruit, etc...not sure where the "dairy" is....but, whatever.....

I couldn't find them anywhere either jessalyn, so I made my own. One bag of limes will make an ample supply of lime marmalade. The marmalade can then be used to make the sorbet, with plenty left over for spreading on toast.

And once you have the original recipe down, try adding a touch of cold tequila just before churning. It's my favorite variation.

This is one of my favorites to make for the summer. I have trouble finding all the right ingredients, so I've made a couple substitutions. Instead of key lime preserves, which I can't find around here at all, I use key lime jelly, which I find whenever we go on vacation to the Delaware shore (Seaside Country Store in Fenwick Island, DE carries their own stock. Also, I can't find lime seltzer, so I use lemon-lime instead. The jelly takes longer to break down than I imagine perserves would - so I cook it higher than AB recommends, and for a longer period of time. Also the full recipe is a bit much for my ice cream maker - it all fits... barely. Still and all, it's one of my favorites - it's easy to make, and offers up a nice contrast of sour and sweet.

Living in a culinary wasteland, I rarely expect to find all the ingredients. I had to substitute lime marmalade for key lime preserves -- that might have made the result a little sweet. I also got tired of zesting and squeezing all those little key limes, so I gave up after three or four and used a regular lime instead. Overall, everyone was very pleased, but I think I would have preferred a slightly less sweet and slightly milder flavor. Maybe a trace less zest and juice next time. Also, I did not think the (lemon-lime seltzer added much in the way of flavor.
